Race the Sun — Gabrielle Evans

The only thing Jade Blevins has ever been good at is hustling pool tables. He never saw it as a life-changing sport, until he wins a gold bottle in a local bar-along with the ancient warrior inside. Now, he has ninety days to free the gorgeous Thessalian-or find a way to let him go forever. Archias of Thessaly has spent three millennia imprisoned inside the glass urn. Once a great Myrmidon soldier, he is now little more than a glorified genie, cursed to spend eternity granting others happiness, and never finding a love of his own. Jade is unlike anyone he's ever met, though, and he can't help but hope for the impossible. Only a wish of selfless love can set him free, but when his previous master turns his undeniable charms on Jade, Archias fears he may be doomed to an eternity of darkness.
